According to jefferson have the colonies been peaceful or chaotic

I believe the answer is: Peaceful

here is the statement made by Jefferson about the colonies:

What country before, ever existed a century and a half without a rebellion ? And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance ? Let them take arms

The first sentence indicates that jefferson is proud on the fact that the colonies managed to last hundred of years without rebellion. He made that statement to encourage other to settles to other places and develop their own businesses there.

ummm? is that supposed to be a question or a but this is a reason he won re-election

explanation:

"despite progress in the war, lincoln and most political pundits were convinced that he would lose his bid for reelection in 1864. the country was war weary and the democratic party's nominee, george mcclellan, was likely to negotiate a peace treaty with the confederacy if elected." - loc.gov

propriety is the answer. hope this !
